What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Queensferry questions

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repairing versus replacing in Queensferry

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Queensferry. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Queensferry

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

  • Belfast and butler sinks

Landlords, agents and businesses in Queensferry

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Queensferry, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
